Wow, that's a first for the playoffs so far with a game going 0-0 to OT. Who would've thought it would've been Bruins/Caps?

Yeah man, it was a David-Goliath deal with the untested AHL goalie Holtby going up against Thomas. If he can keep that standard of play (and our offense plays for more than one fucking period..) we might be able to get through this.

I was also surprised with how the Caps held up physically. Matched hits for a good part of the game and they were shoving and backing each other up plenty.

I was watching PHI-PIT over people's shoulders during dinner last night. That was defence and goaltending straight out of the 80s; some pretty plays, but just some Godawful defensive play, too. It was a fun spectacle, but I bet we see a 2-1 game in Game 3 in response, as both coaches uses this as an opportunity to fix some things.

Also saw about half of VAN-LAK. Holy God are the Canucks playing like idiots, and I don't just mean in their usual diving-whining-biting-cheapshotting ways. That fourth goal gave me flashbacks to Oilers goals against of the last two or three years. D. Sedin coming back would help, switching goalies might wake them up, but realistically, they gotta completely repair the way they're playing positionally and tactically next game or it's over, which would be a shock. Not that I didn't think LAK could win (I did have it a seven-game series, and I was becoming less confident in VAN by the day), but given how each team is playing by now, this could be a five-game series. THAT would be the shock.
